Description

Sunday may 31, 2009 Knutsford blvrd was transformed from its old face into A high fashion heaven. The roads were closed and saint interantional erected a catwalk in the middle of the road where they showcased 19 collections from various designers both local and international.

Recognized a few of the shooters there this year, I was shooting alongside Giovanni Powell and our lovely assistant was non other than my beautiful girlfriend @vampnixen. She took excellent notes of the event for us to match back with the photos interms of captions and tags.

The lighting at the event wasn’t the greatest thing ever. Tungsten mixed with a whole lot of madness. Fashion Block is a public fashion event with a vip area, the aim seems to be getting the crowd amped and hyper so there’s a lot of flashing lights and smoke (yes smoke) while the fashion show is taking place. This sadly means consistency is almost completely out the window. The show started @ aproximately 8:45pm and would run to 12:00am.

Gear I was packing was my 30D, 70 – 200 f4 L (yes f4 @ night) and a sb 28dx hot shoe strobe for fill if needed, memory cards, spare batteries, notepad, pen all in my crumpler 6 million dollar home bag.
